Disneyland 2022 - Day 2
Day 2 started off early in the morning inside Disneyland exploring the new Star Wars themed area. Here, we queued up for the new Star Wars, rise of the resistance ride. The ride is one of the more popular attractions at the park, with a long queue all day. The only way to bypass this long line is to pay $20 a person for a lightning lane reservation through the new ride reservation app system ‘Genie+’ the parks have implemented. Although confusing as a concept at first, the new reservation system is a definite must if you are visiting the parks nowadays. Using the app efficiently will save you hours waiting in lines.
The new rise of the resistance ride has become my favorite ride at both parks. The ride is the first trackless attraction at Disneyland, meaning the ride uses AI robotics to move around a predetermined path instead of using physical wheels on tracks, akin to roomba. This frees up the ride to a nonlinear path, making the ride feel expanse and unpredictable.
